Koizora shows a similar unconditional love Satoru showed Miyuki in the film. However, Koizora is a bit heavier compared to the sweet but melancholic feel of Analog.

An ordinary senior high school girl named Mika meets Hiro, a showy boy with dyed hair and pierced ears. It is a “pure love” story of the two going through many unimaginably sad incidents while nurturing their love single-mindedly. It not only depicts the first love of the senior high school couple but also weaves “a story of Mika and Hiro” through episodes probably familiar to anybody, such as warmth and affection of their family members supporting the two, the importance of living, interactions with friends, and so on.

watching no call no life reminded me so much of koizora, not strictly plot wise but more broadly in terms of feels.. which seemed really similar

Both are touching but beautiful love stories and both makes you cry a river over them. Both are school romance, but as you can see in Koizora they are not the fun kind of romance, they include "heavy romance". Kou Kou Kyoushi was even heavier. In my opinion, Kou Kou Kyoushi was unforgettable and better than Koizora. So you should see it before you die.
